Changes to the Index Guideline
Section 1.4
Addendum:
In addition to the intraday calculation a closing level of the INDEX for each CALCULATION DAY is also calculated. This closing level is based on the CLOSING PRICES for the UNDERLYING INDEX and 4:00 p.m. New York time WM Spot and Forward Fixings quoted by Reuters. If there is no 4pm New York time WM Fixing for the relevant CALCULATION DAY, the last available 4pm New York time WM Fixing will be used for the closing level calculation.
